tick tamer bug repellent

When I think of Summer, I think of being outside. Hiking, hanging, having a good time. I want to avoid getting eaten alive by mosquitoes or bitten by a diseased tick so I use Tick Tamer Bug Repellent. I am afraid of bug repellents that are loaded with Deet and other chemicals. If they kill bugs then they can't really be good for me. Tick Tamer doesn't kill bugs, it doesn't need to. But they certainly won't bite you because most insects have a strong aversion to the wonderful scent of Lemongrass and Cedarwood. You won't find any nasty chemicals in Tick Tamer only pure essential oils, a bit of vinegar, vegetable glycerin and witch hazel. For a complete list of ingredients, see our ingredient page.

Tick Tamer is available in two sizes, a convenient, purse sized spray bottle containing 4 oz for $10.00 and a larger 8 oz bottle for $15.00.

My oldest daughter, Emma, is allergic to so many things. She has Celiac disease and is also allergic to artificial colors, flavors, sweeteners and pesticides. Finding body care products that did not cause skin irritations was difficult. A few years ago we attended an essential oil workshop that changed our lives completely.

Em discovered that she could make her own body care products from all natural ingredients. She creates lip balms, body spritzers, bath salts, deodorant and so much more. She created household cleaners and even non-toxic weed killer that works like magic!​For the past few years, as a family, we have sold Em’s products, as well as my own magical, essential oil concoctions, at our local farmers market. It's a blast and we love the opportunity to see our friends and neighbors, and engage in such an amazing community atmosphere. We look forward to seeing our local friends at the Carlisle Farmer's Market this summer or visit us by appointment at The Enchanted Kitchen's Oil Room in Carlisle.

Featured Oil​LAVENDER

Lavandula angustifolia is the Latin name for this perennial flower. Lavender’s essential oil is extracted from the fresh flowers of the lavender plant and used for medicinal purposes. This common plant, native to northern Africa and the mountainous regions of the Mediterranean, contains powerful chemical constituents that make its essential oil a medicine cabinet must have. Known for its anti-inflammatory, antibacterial, antiviral, anti-fungal and antioxidant properties, Lavender is useful for respiratory disorders, acne, bug bites, burns, yeast infections, scrapes, wounds, skin and haircare, blood circulation, pain, anxiety, insomnia and so much more. Lavender is one of the most well-known essential oils in aromatherapy.Recently, researchers in China have discovered that lavender essential oil helps your body produce three of its most powerful antioxidants: glutathione, catalase and superoxide dismutase - increases were noted less than a day after use of the oil began.In 2013, multiple studies were reported stating that use of Lavender Essential Oil improves mood and supports the brain. One evidence-based study published in the International Journal of Psychiatry in Clinical Practice found that supplementing with 80 mg capsules of lavender essential oil alleviates anxiety, sleep disturbance and depression with no adverse side effects. Unlike many conventional, pharmaceutical medicines like Prozac which can have nasty side effects, Lavender heals without harm. However, it's always best to work with a certified aromatherapist and your health care practitioner when ingesting any essential oils.In 2014, Scientists in Tunisia tested the effects of lavender essential oil on blood sugar to see if it could be used medicinally with diabetes. During the 15-day study, scientists observed that lavender oil treatment protected the body from increases in blood glucose, metabolic disorders, weight gain, liver and kidney antioxidant depletion, dysfunction and lipoperoxidation.With more funding for research, who knows what other amazing things the mighty Lavender oil can help with.

OIL FACT​​AROMATHERAPY​

The use of Essential Oils can be traced back as far as 2000 BC. However, the term Aromatherapy was not created until the early 1900’s when Rene-Maurice Gattefosse, a French, cosmetic chemist, suffered severe burns in an explosion in his lab in 1910. He immediately submerged his burned hands into a large container of lavender oil which effectively stopped the gasification of the burned tissue and began healing the very next day.Gattefosse had no prior interest in natural healing methods, however, after his incredible healing experience with his burned hands be began to investigate other medical uses of essential oils. During WWI, Gattefosse treated soldiers using essential oils. He continued treating disease using essential oils into the 1920’s-1930’s. He called it “aromatherapie”.
